Trimming the Town - Use the Catalog for Inspiration

 When you are struck by that creative block

LOOK TO THE CATALOG FOR INSPIRATION

My version of this card (cased from the catalog on page 26 of the holiday mini) has a few variations but I loved being able to look to the catalog for inspiration.

I used the Felt for the snowy background. I cut the tree line with the Home Together Dies (153515). TIP - run it thru twice. Then I embossed the felt with the Winter Snow embossing folder (153577). I love the subtle effect of the embossing on the white felt. I hope you can see it in the picture below.

I attached this to the front panel of Designer Series Paper which is cut 3 7/8" x 5 1/8". After gluing the felt to the Designer Series Paper, I trimmed the excess with scissors.

I stamped the houses, colored them with blends and cut them with the Home Together Dies, These are attached with Stampin Dimensionals and glue. The ribbon and the greeting are attached with glue also. Notice that great greeting that I snipped from the Designer Series Paper?

Very quick and fun!

But the piece de resistance is the inside and the envelope using that great Designer Series Paper!
